Beyoncé’s latest album and World Tour is a tribute to the LGBTQ community, which she learned to love thanks to her late uncle, who introduced her to the ballroom scene.
The singer, actress, and businesswoman also invited New York’s underground: Ballroom star Honey Balenciaga and Carlos Basquiat — both Latinos, as this subcultural scene Black and Latino New Yorkers popularized it in the late ‘80s. The pair joined Beyoncé onstage during a portion of “Pure/Honey” to deliver a vogue battle.
